<p>By default, the jemallocator crates configure jemalloc inappropriately for cross-compiling the forthcoming <code>aarch64-apple-darwin</code> target. There's an environment variable that I should be able to set to work around it, but it would be nice if not everyone using jemallocator had to do the same. </p>
<p>I was about to look into creating a pull request, but it looks like the jemallocator <a href="https://github.com/gnzlbg/jemallocator">repo</a> hasn't been committed to in ~9 months and the last releases were ~15 months ago. I bring this up here because <code>rustc</code> depends on this crate on many platforms. Is a lack of updates something that the team is concerned about?</p>

<p>IIRC consensus is that we start maintaining relevant crates ourselves when upstream maintainership status becomes a problem, which in case of jemalloc hasn’t come up as a problem.</p>
